Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Short Hills

Staff was very welcoming. Food was excellent and our waiter Ben was very friendly and attentive.

As usual, had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Ristorante MV! From the ambiance that’s warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort to the staff that’s attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring every detail of our meal was impeccable…amazing. The food was phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The veal piccata was a standout, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. Always get spicy rigatoni too! Ristorante MV is a true gem, offering an authentic and memorable culinary journey. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

I loved this place!! The wonderful man in my life brought me here for the first time the other night, and It was a wonderful little place. The atmosphere, people, staff members, and ambiance were simply wonderful!! The food is so good, and the portions are no joke, I ordered the Lobster Fettuccine, and it was so delicious. I was able to eat a good amount, take the rest home. I did try to Tiramisu, and I felt like I was in HEAVEN!! It was silky, delicious, not too overpowering, and just melted in my mouth. I 100% recommend this place. Perfect for a first date, night out, or family dinner. 🥰

Absolutely wonderful meal from start to finish. The food was amazing and the service was top notch.

The food was fantastic, the restaurant was warm (we sat near the door but you couldn’t feel it), and the staff was lovely! 10/10 can’t wait to go back.
